The message for the rest of the world is that if the U.S. gets smacked, we will strike the most convenient third world tyrant we can find and fabricate reasons to do so.
Well not any third world Nation just the ones our government identifies as pro terrorist. The whole Axis of evil thing. And yes it sends one Helluva msg. Along the same lines as "assured mutual destruction" during the cold war. Only the US will give more then it gets.
I am not "right wing btw", I am not Christian or Conservative or a even republican. Just because you are on the left doesnt mean any who disagrees with you is on the right.
Your question wasnt dodged I answered it, who cares what the UN thinks, Isreal is not a threat to the US and if they violate UN sanctions I dont care anything about that. Just I dont care about France's violating the UN in Afrika and the Russians in regards to the Chechens or China is regards to tibet etc.....
I am certainly not pro-Israel and you search for post under my old nic wotan. But I never used the bs UN arguement.
